so is the hotrod setup any good?

 

They've been out for almost a year now, havent heard any horror stories. But then again I havent heard of any one claiming they're running a serious build on one and have had it running for a long time. Even the stock rod can take the pressure for a while, I'm curious how the hotrods crank and rod performs and holds up over time.

 

I will be a good test monkey. I am running this setup with a serious build. If any one would blow it up, it would be me. I love them high RPMs!

BTW. I have been running this setup for 4 months. I just pulled it down and inspected the rod carefully. It looks new. The stock rod would show wear on the on the wrist pin and rod on the right side after 4 months. The hot rod showed no wear.

Anyway, the hot rod is much beefyer, better materials, better mfg process...It will be fine, no doubt.
